M: Malala Yousafzai, thank you for joining us. Tell us what inspired you, at such a young age, to start speaking out for girls’ education in really such a dangerous environment.
   W: First of all, my father inspired me, because he’s a great father, but as well, he is a great social activist and women’s rights activist. At that time, when we were suffering from terrorism, he spoke out. And he spoke for women’s rights, because at that time, more than 400 schools were blasted, people were killed, and markets were closed. There was a ban on women to go to market. Girls were not allowed to go to school. And in that hard situation, he inspired me, because he spoke. And that’s what I learned from him.
   M: Did you ever think, though, that your outspokenness, and the fact that you became a media star in Pakistan, would make you or your family a target?
   W: I think living in such a hard situation where there are terrorists and they kill people every night is still hard — is still a threat. So it’s a better idea to speak out for your rights and then die. I prefer that one. So that’s why we spoke at that time. Why are we waiting for someone else? The governments were not taking an action. The army was not taking a good action. So that’s why we said that we would speak out for our rights. This is what we can do, and we try our best.
   M: So now, you’ve been forced, of course, to leave Pakistan. You’ve become this international symbol of bravery and of speaking up for girls’ education. But what has happened to the girls you left behind? What is their situation?
   W: The girls who are in Pakistan, it’s really hard for them to go to school. There are so many reasons. Many girls do not go to school because of poverty. Some girls can’t go to school because of the child labor and child trafficking. Some parents don’t send their children to school, because they don’t know its importance at all, and some girls don’t go to school because of the cultural norms and taboos. So there are still many issues that are stopping girls to go to school.
   M: Now, do you get to go to school yourself anymore with all these public appearances? Do you have a normal life in England?
   W: I go to school in a car because it’s far away. And, yes, it’s true that when I go to a market, when I go to a park, people just gather around me, and they want to talk to me. They want to have pictures with me. But it’s the love of people, and I think it’s just a great honor for me that now I can reach people.
   M: Malala Yousafzai, thank you so much.
   W: Nice to talk to you.
